Join one of the friendliest flying clubs in the world
Sackville Flying Club has a thriving, welcoming and growing membership. We're always delighted to welcome new members — whether you're a newly qualified pilot, a seasoned aviator looking for a friendly base, or an aviation enthusiast who simply loves being around aircraft.
Membership gives you unlimited access to everything Sackville has to offer, seven days a week, sunrise to sunset, throughout the year.
At Sackville, membership is more than just airfield access — it's joining a family of people who share your passion for aviation. We look after each other, help each other, and enjoy the airfield together. It's the kind of place where you might pop in to change an oil filter and end up staying all day.
We're proud to be home to a wonderfully varied fleet. Members keep microlights, gliders, balloons, GA aircraft and many other types here. If you're looking for a friendly home for your own aircraft, Sackville is an excellent choice.
On-site instructors are available for different licence types. Whether you're working towards your first licence or expanding your ratings, we can help. Contact Tim for details about current instructors and availability.
